Event!


From the Facebook page:

Is eating meat ethical?

Come listen as PETA vice president Bruce Friedrich faces off against members of the UCSC Ethics Bowl Team on this very question!

Bruce Friedrich is vice president of policy for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world's largest animal rights organization. He has debated meat, fur, and animal-experimentation industry representatives on countless television and radio programs, including NBC's Today show as well as various programs on CNN, the Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and Court TV. He is a frequent contributor to HuffingtonPost.com, and coauthored a book about activism, the widely praised Animal Activist's Handbook (www.animaladvocacybook.com). He also produced the influential PETA film "Meet Your Meat", which is narrated by Alec Baldwin and was viewed more than 1 million times last year alone.

Ethics Bowl is a team-debate style competition. It is an event designed to develop and demonstrate students' capacity for ethical analysis and judgment.

Student teams analyze case studies that demonstrate ethical dilemmas drawn from a wide range or areas (environmental ethics, biomedical ethics, business ethics, institutional ethics, personal ethics, etc.) This analysis enables students to determine a morally defensible resolution to the dilemmas, a resolution that they defend before a panel of judges and a competing team.

This event is co-hosted by peta2 and Banana Slugs for Animals.
